How to grow multi-seeded cucumber

First of all, the seeds of horned melon with early maturity, excellent varieties and fast growth were selected and planted according to the density of 800-1000 plants per mu. Slow seedling water should be applied after planting, and fertilization should be carried out according to different growth stages, mainly organic fertilizer and compound fertilizer. Since then, we should do a good job in temperature management, pruning of hanging vines and prevention and control of diseases and insect pests.

How to grow multi-seeded cucumber

I. temperature

Horn melon is a kind of melon vegetable which is more tolerant to cold but not tolerant to high temperature. During the growing period, the optimum temperature was 20 ℃ and 25 ℃. The growth was slow below 15 ℃ and stopped below 8 ℃. Over 30 ℃, the growth is slow and diseases are very easy to occur. The suitable temperature for seed germination is 25 ℃ 30 ℃, 13 ℃ can germinate, but it is very slow, and 30 ℃ is the fastest, but it is easy to cause overgrowth. The flowering and fruiting period needs a higher temperature, and it is generally best to keep 22 ℃ 25 min. Early-maturing varieties have stronger tolerance to low temperature. The lowest temperature for root elongation is 6 ℃, and the lowest temperature for root hair formation is 12 ℃. The fertilized fruit can develop normally when the night temperature is 8 Mel 10 ℃.

Second, lighting

The light intensity is moderate and can withstand weak light, but it is easy to grow when the light is insufficient. The photoperiod belongs to short-day plants, which is beneficial to the growth of stems and leaves under long-day conditions, and the melon-bearing period is earlier under short-day conditions.

Third, humidity

Like to be moist, not resistant to drought, especially in the melon period, the soil should be kept moist in order to obtain high yield. Virus diseases are easy to occur under the condition of high temperature and drought, but high temperature and high humidity are also easy to cause powdery mildew.

IV. Soil

The requirement of soil is not strict, sand, loam and clay can be cultivated, and the loam with deep soil layer is easy to get high yield.

Horn melon is rich in vitamins, glucose and other nutrients, can regulate human metabolism, weight loss, cancer prevention, anti-cancer and other functions, very suitable to eat more.
